EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in medical history - an oral examination as depicted in The Works of Hippocrates. Created by the talented artist Joseph Kuhn-Regnier, this color lithograph showcases the ancient Greek practice of diagnosing and treating patients through careful observation of their tongues. In this scene, we witness a female patient seeking medical attention while a male physician conducts her examination. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and concern as both individuals engage in this crucial interaction. The doctor's expertise shines through his focused expression, demonstrating his commitment to providing the best possible care for his patient. The image transports us back to antiquity, reminding us of the invaluable contributions made by Hippocrates, often referred to as the father of medicine. His teachings emphasized holistic approaches to healthcare and laid the foundation for modern medical practices that continue to shape our understanding today. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork also highlights themes of vulnerability and trust within the realm of healthcare. It serves as a powerful reminder that throughout time, doctors have played an essential role in alleviating suffering and restoring health. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded once again of how far medicine has come while acknowledging its roots firmly planted in ancient Greece.
